I decided to do a fair, even test today comparing the .22LR and the .25ACP from pocket pistol length barrels. The .22LR was fired from a 2.5 inch barrel, and the .25ACP was fired from a 2.25 inch barrel. Ammunition used was typical, full powered generic ammunition for each caliber- CCI 40 grain...

All original Bushmaster (bought new in 05).

If you had to use FMJ and was forced to pick between 9mm and .45, what would you choose? Weapons and ammo- Glock 19 and full sized 1911. Ammo was WWB, and the direction of travel was from the right. The .45ACP is on top and 9mm is on bottom. I use Gold Dots, I just thought it would be...

Between the Speer 124 grain +P Gold Dots and the Speer 230 grain Short Barrel Gold Dots. Weapons are Glock 19 and a Glock 30. The .45 came from the right, the 9mm came from the left. No clothing, 5 feet distance. The 9mm penetrated to 12 inches, the .45 penetrated to 12.25 inches. The 9mm had...

I spotted a box of ammunition I never seen before- Hornadys SUPERFORMANCE .223REM 75 grain OTM at an advirtised 2900 FPS. This block was a spare that I didnt calibrate, but a previous block from another test was correct. Fired from an 18 inch barrel at a distance of 10 feet. Penetration was...

Well I had ran out of new .22WMR to test, so I decided to fire a round from my carry pistol, a Glock 19 9mm loaded with Speer 124 grain +P ammunition (this runs about 1220 FPS). This was in comparison to Speers new .22WMR load, a 40 grain Gold Dot JHP SB. Although this round was designed for...

I did a gelatin test with a spare block of gelatin I had. I didnt calibrate it, but blocks from the same batch were ideal. Gel was shot within 5 minutes after being removed from the fridge. The block was shot with a Marlin 25MN at a distance of 5 feet to show the maximum performance possible...

A single round fired from a Colt 14.5 1:7 at a distance of 15 meters into jugs of water. Bullet likely yawed and fragmented, with two major peices progressing the channel. The base penetrated 20 inches of water, and was recovered in clothing that was placed behind the jugs. The nose (steel) was...

Hello. I have an older Charter Arms .38 special, 5 shot 2 inch revolver. The wood and the blue finish on the revolver are in pretty good condition, but the inside of the barrel has quite a bit of rust in it. I would prefer to keep the gun, so selling it isnt too big of an option. What should...

Hello. I recieved this revolver as a part of a trade today, but I searched and couldnt find a single thing on it. It is a 9 shot, SA/DA .22LR revolver, with a 6 inch barrel, wooden grips, and it all stainless. Anyone know how much it is worth, or date of manufacter? Also, from what I have...

DISCLAIMER- THIS IS NOT A SCIENTIFIC TEST. I MIXED SOME GELATIN AND WATER IN A 1:9 RATIO AND SHOT IT. I JUST DECIDED TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS ROUND, SO PLEASE, NO FLAMING. Anyway, I was really impressed with this round. Shot from a 1:9 twist 16 inch Bushmaster AR-15 M4, the bullet...

Hello. Today while I was in the gunshop, one of the guys said that Tennessee has allowed the use of all centerfire calibers for hunting deer this year. The guy is pretty trustworthy, but his source may not be, so I am asking here. Can anyone back this statement up? Thanks!

I just got done watching the episode of the sniper on the roof top. I rarely watch this show, but watched it tonight to see how the newer episodes are. Anyway, there were an uncountable amount of gun related mistakes. The "sniper", was using Accelerater rounds, which they described as a bullet...

Hello. I was wanting to buy another plinker gun to add to my collection, but my attention was cuaght at the gunstore when I saw a bullpup 10/22. I always though the guns had to be special made, but I guess I was wrong. Anyway, the stock was a Muzzlelite, and I was wanting to install on on my...

Hey everyone! I have lately become interested in the M1 Carbine. The caliber seems decently effective, it is supposedly reliable, and accurate. It seems like it would fit the role of a truck gun pretty well. I was just wondering how much these usually go for, and where a good place to get them...

Hey everyone! It will be a while before I even start thinking about getting a FA gun, but I was wondering how much money it would take to convert my Bushmaster AR to fully auto? IIRC, there is a $200 tax stamp plus the parts price. But how much all together would everything else cost. In...

Hello. On my 18th birthday, Nov. 10, I plan on purchasing an AR-15 from the local gun store. Being a new resident to TN, I cannot get a drivers license until I turn 18. Basically, my main question is whether or not you need a TN drivers license, or if a learners permit would do as long as I am...

Hello. I always see numbers after model numbers on S&W guns, for example, 29-2, 19-4, ect. Is this the generation number? What does it mean, and what are the differences? Also, what is a pinned barrel? Thanks!

Hello. Today was my first time trap shooting, and overall, I dont think I did too well, about 10 out of 25 clays. I want to join the team, but I dont know where to start. I need a good shotgun (preferably no more than $250) an accurate load, and some tips on shooting. Any help would be really...

Woohoo! Along with the fireworks, I got to do some backyard testing. I never get to do this since we only own an acre of land, and I havent registered at a shooting range yet. With all of the fireworks going, I decided to do some shooting to blend in (neither of my neighbors were home and I...
